Bill Hammond writes in his column in the Daily News, that Ed Koch is right on the money when he points to Senate Dems as villains.

“State Senate Democrats crying foul over former Mayor Ed Koch’s New York Uprising campaign should stop their whining.

They think it’s unfair that Koch’s group branded their Senate leadership as “enemies of reform” while all 29 members of the Senate GOP were hailed as “heroes.”

But Koch’s labels, though a bit harsh and simplistic, were issued fairly and honestly.

And if Dems don’t like his judgments, they have no one but themselves to blame.

Like every other candidate for state office, the Senate’s top leaders - including Democratic conference chief John Sampson, Temporary President Malcolm Smith and Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger - were challenged to pledge support for Koch’s three-point reform plan.”
